Features

Everything NIDO offers your centre, grouped by area: from the classroom day to day to billing.

The classroom day to day

For each child: meals, bottles, naps and nappy changes, plus general wellbeing, mood and notes. Families see it in real time and the log flags allergies.
Attendance
Register with arrival and departure times, and reported absences.
Meal register
How much each child has eaten, based on the centre menu.
Daily service record
Services of the day (e.g. lunch), later used in the receipts.
Classroom photos

Medication
Record of medication given, with double confirmation.
Offline
Work can continue even if the connection drops.
